most people here will say "as soon as you're up for it."

just keep in mind that you should keep it simple and stay away from the rough stuff ;)

Of course you can ask and it often comes up here. It's a factor that has to be considered as well. :) My Dr told me when I felt up to it, to go for it.............I'm still waiting. :P Just kidding on the still waiting part. He did say to start out reasonably and not doing anything too crazy or strenuous. I've heard other sleevers saying that their Dr told them to wait a few weeks.

Do what your doctor says ... mine didn't say anything so day two in the hospital seemed like the perfect chance to make sure everything was still working correctly :-)

Most hospital based nurses agree that you should wait until you are out of the hospital. Beyond that, it's up to individual doctors' opinions which vary from "when you feel like it" to some weeks. Basically, it's down to being able to do things without distress - you probably don't want to be swinging from the rafters, but any positioning that accomplishes things in comfort is fine.

LOL, I would hope that people would wait until they're out of the hospital!!!

My NP was suprised at my two weeks when I asked that same question. Her response was "you mean you're not already?!?!"

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
